Guacamelee! 2

Head back to the Mexiverse in this long-awaited sequel to the smash hit Guacamelee! Uppercut your way to victory across stunning new hand-crafted levels. Featuring a dense and colorful world, new luchador moves, sassy new bosses, twice the enemies, and 300% more chickens!

Developer Drinkbox Studios has announced that its luchador-themed Metroidvania sequel Guacamelee 2 will be heading to Switch on December 10th.

Guacamelee 2 (or Guacamelee! 2, if you're a stickler for accuracy) is the follow-up to the developer's celebrated, and beautifully presented, 2013 original, which initially released on PlayStation 3 and Vita. Since then, the first game has received an enhanced update, known as Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition, and made its way to Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Switch.

Guacamelee 2 launched on PC and PS4 earlier this year, and retains its predecessor's non-linear action platforming template. Once again, progress is made as returning (and now notably older) luchador protagonist Juan Aguacate steadily expands his repertoire of wrestling moves. And, once again, the whole gorgeous experience is a delight to behold.
